Student Loan Refinancing

Refinancing student loans allows you to do a few things. If you have multiple loans, you can combine them into one brand new loan making it more convenient to stay on top of personal finance. You’ll also have the chance to release consigners on your existing loans, eliminating them from any liability. A student loan refinance replaces all your existing loans (or a single student loan if you only have one) with a new loan with new terms. By qualifying for a lower interest rate or reducing the payback period of the new loan, you could save thousands in interest over the life of the loan. By refinancing your existing student loans, you could see a dramatic reduction in your interest rate. Check your rate with no impact to your credit score via LendKey.com.

Private Student Loans

Achieve your dreams of higher education with a low-rate student loan through LendKey! You may be able to borrow up to 100% of your school-certified cost of attendance. This may include tuition, room and board, textbooks, and other related education expenses. Students can apply for this loan if they are enrolled at least half-time in a degree-granting program from an approved school. This application is credit-based so if you do not have an established credit history and a steady source of income, a cosigner may be needed.


Private student loans should be used as supplemental funding after exhausting all sources of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and federal student loans. Federal loans offer more attractive terms when compared to most other borrowing options, including private student loans. For more information on federal loans, visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Excellent refinancing experience

It was very easy to refinance my student loan with LendKey, and I got a great rate. The payment interface is very easy to use, and on the rare occasion that I had a question, it was answered quickly and professionally. Overall, a great experience.

Bait and switch student loan offers

Bait and switch student loan offers. They show a low fixed rate of 4.39 % and my credit was pulled at 809 credit score. Maybe besides my score it’s not perfect (maybe) and I received a slightly higher rate I’d be understanding but I received a 9% interest rate. I asked the supervisor why would I receive such a rate and if there was anything we could check with underwriting to help or explain the situation. The only explanation was it’s proprietary information. Everything about this situation feels like a bait and switch scenario. Lendkey has not intention or giving customers the lowest rates and it’s all a scam. I’d be extremely cautious about going with this company.

Lendkey is simple, streamlined, and transparent

I refinanced $100k in student loans with them a few years ago, now 80% paid off and I have had a very good experience overall. The website is straightforward, easy to use, and doesn’t try to sell you anything extra. A much better experience than my original lender.

Private Student Loan Refinance

It was easy to refinance my student loans and their service is like a market and give you options to choose from and is transparent. As an added bonus, the lender I choose required a federal credit union membership which was super easy to get and offered a better banking experience. If you don't know about credit unions, also check the out

Great rates, great service

Lendkey offered a lower rate through a co-sign option, with the ability to release co-signer after 12 months of on-time payments. The co-signer wasn’t an option with my previous servicer. They also gave me 0.25% off for autopay. Every time I’ve interacted with them they’ve given exceptional service. Thank you!

The two best things about LendKey are the interest rate and the experience. The website is easy to use, and the lower interest rate was perfect for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to consolidate their school loan.
